The Bible Story Behind Mary, Lord's Mother
Mary was a young woman of Nazareth who was espoused to Joseph when the angel Gabriel appeared to her. She possessed no royal position or earthly influence, yet God graciously chose her for an extraordinary place within His purpose. Through Mary, the promised Son of David would enter the world as a true human child.
Gabriel explained that Mary would conceive through the power of the Holy Ghost while remaining a virgin. The child would be called Jesus, receive the throne of David, and reign over the house of Jacob forever. Mary, Lord's Mother therefore presents the humble Israelite woman entrusted with bearing the long-promised Messiah and Savior.
Luke 1:31 — “And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.”
Mary received God's word with faith, declaring herself to be the handmaid of the Lord. Her calling was unique, but it didn't make her divine or remove her own need for salvation; she later rejoiced in God her Savior. Her honor came from God's grace and from the identity of the holy Son she carried, not from independent power or righteousness of her own.
The child conceived within Mary wasn't merely another prophet or earthly king. The eternal Word took flesh, uniting true deity and true humanity in the person of Jesus Christ. He entered Adam's fallen world without sharing Adam's sin so that He could become the spotless Savior of mankind.
Jesus fulfilled the law perfectly, revealed the Father, and willingly gave His sinless body upon the cross. Mary watched her Son suffer, but she couldn't redeem Him or rescue herself through motherhood. Christ alone bore sin, was buried, and rose again so that Mary and every other believer could be saved by grace through faith in His finished work.

Questions and Answers
Q: How can Mary create a large Nicodemus turn without Restoring very much Damage?
A: Nicodemus cares about how many Beings are Restored, not how much Damage is removed from each one. If four damaged Friendly Beings each have 1 Damage removed, Nicodemus can activate four times.
Q: What happens if one of those Friendly Beings has 3 Damage?
A: Mary removes only 1 Damage from it. That still counts as that Being being Restored.
Q: Can Mary's Prophecy turn off several Patience Abilities at once?
A: Yes. Any damaged Friendly Being that becomes fully Restored is no longer damaged, so its Patience stops applying.
Q: What happens if I return Mary with Signs And Wonders?
A: You can Play her again later, and her Prophecy can Restore your Friendly Storyline another time.
Q: Does an undamaged Friendly Being create a Nicodemus activation just because Mary's effect includes it?
A: No. If no Damage is removed, that Being wasn't actually Restored.
